Cost of electric vehicle charging at Heathrow

Caroline Russell: Taxi drivers have been in touch with me concerned that already high costs for charging a taxi at Heathrow have now been increased. I am concerned that if electric vehicle (EV) charging at Heathrow is too expensive, then car emissions at the airport will increase given that taxi drivers can switch to using petrol instead. What measures will you take to ensure investment in EV charging at Heathrow is used to keep pollution levels as low as possible?

The Mayor: On 1 January 2020, Heathrow Airport Ltd increased the price for rapid charging in their taxi feeder park from approximately 31p to 39p/kWh. This is equivalent to Shell Recharge’s 39p/kWh cost and slightly more than Engenie’s 36p/kWh. There are several other taxi-only rapid chargers nearby which are lower cost.
While Transport for London (TfL) does not have any direct control over setting tariffs at Heathrow, TfL officers are actively engaging with representatives from Heathrow to initiate a review of prices to ensure cost does not pose a barrier to usage.

Single-use cups at Transport for London (TfL)

Caroline Russell: When will Transport for London (TfL) stop using single-use cups in their buildings?

The Mayor: Transport for London (TfL) has made efforts to reduce single-use cup usage in its three head offices.
In TfL’s newest office, Endeavour Square, there are no single-use cups at all. At Pier Walk, TfL has reduced paper and plastic cup use by 90 per cent and at Palestra, TfL has completely eliminated plastic cups, with some single-use paper cups available for external visitors.
TfL plan to be ‘paperless’ in the kitchens in the three hub buildings by April 2020. TfL is taking steps to achieve this including the purchase of mugs and dishwashers in head office locations to encourage sustainable behaviour.

Whole Line Tube Journeys

Susan Hall: Can you provide a breakdown from 2016-19, and line by line, of the proportion/percentage of Tube services which covered which proportion of the line? For example, what proportion/percentage of services covered the whole of the Bakerloo line from Elephant & Castle to Harrow & Wealdstone, and what proportion/percentage terminated at Queen's Park or Willesden Junction?

The Mayor: Please find below morning peak timetabled service levels:

Electric vehicle charging points on the footway (4)

Caroline Russell: Thank you for your answer to my question 2019/4115. Could you provide a list, by borough, of Transport for London (TfL) installed electric vehicle rapid charging points and indicate for each borough how many are installed off the highway entirely, on the footway without any build-out or on sections of footway that have been extended out into the carriageway?

The Mayor: Transport for London does not hold the data on how many charge points are specifically installed on the footway and on build outs. It can, however, confirm that, of the 246 installed, 95 have been installed off the highway entirely, for example in car parks and forecourts. The remaining 143 are located either on the footway or sections of the footway that have been extended out into the carriageway.

Transport for London energy (1)

Leonie Cooper: What Power Purchase Agreements were agreed between Transport for London and energy generators for each year over the last five years?

The Mayor: Transport for London is working with the Crown Commercial Service on a Power Purchasing Agreement pilot project and is also in the process of procuring an independent consultant to provide advice in this area of energy supply. TfL provided an update at the TfL Finance Committee meeting on 11 March and will provide a further update at the next Finance Committee meeting on 22 June 2020.
